Chapter 87 The Truth
The maidservant's words were approved by everyone present, who nodded their heads and focused their eyes on Fan Shenglan again.

Although Su Jinman was there, she was still completely flustered. She just looked at it strangely and didn't pay attention to anything. Now she couldn't say anything clearly.

"Auntie, when you passed by this lady, did you touch her?"

"There were so many people here at the time, how do I remember clearly?"

After Su Jinman glanced at the people here, she wrote to Wei Qian, "Miss, can you restore the scene at that time."

Wei Qianshu also wanted to understand what was going on, so she asked the maid to cooperate.

The maidservant who was beaten reluctantly walked to the place where the handkerchief was lost, stood there and said angrily: "Well, the lady was here just now to look at this gold hairpin, that woman came over and bumped into the lady, the lady Seeing how rustic she is, I didn't intend to pay attention to it at first, but when I turned around, I found that the handkerchief on the table was gone, it was a boudoir daughter's personal belongings, how could it just disappear?"

After Su Jinman finished listening, she walked to the table at the counter. The golden hairpin was still there, but the handkerchief was gone. The thief must be a fool.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head, looked in the gaps around her completely regardless of her image, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Can I go in and have a look?"

"It was originally not allowed to enter, but when something like this happened in my shop, the old man made an exception once, and let you go in and have a look, and you can prove your innocence."

After the shopkeeper unlocked it, Su Jinman walked inside the counter, checked it up and down, and finally found a dusty cyan silk handkerchief under the counter, which really matched Miss Wei's clothes. Yes, the small character Wei in the lower right corner above also indicates that the owner of this handkerchief is Wei.

Seeing the handkerchief in Su Jinman's hand, everyone present clapped their hands. Ms. Wei was also a little curious as to why the handkerchief fell into it.

"How did you know my veil was going to fall in there?"

"Sipas are smooth items. Just now your maid said that you put the handkerchief on the table and you were looking at the golden hairpin. My aunt bumped into you. You must have turned your head and looked at it, young man." Worrying about the loss of items, I naturally put them away first. Maybe everyone didn’t pay attention to Sipa. The boy put away things too fast, and a gust of wind blew up the silk handkerchief. As for where it fell, I'm going to look for the gap here, but I didn't expect it to be as I guessed. Sipa fell under the counter, and the boy kicked Sipa into the counter without paying attention. Look, there are still There are half footprints."

The maid beside Wei Qianshu showed her the dirty handkerchief from Su Jinman's hand, and it was indeed as she said, with half a footprint on it.

"So that's the case, then I really blamed the person wrongly, but my servant girl hit her, and she also hit mine, and the two evened each other."

It is already the best that the matter can be resolved in this way. Fan Shenglan admires Su Jinman now.

"Miss, first of all, the maid beside you didn't check carefully, second, she judged people based on their appearance, and third, she was aggressive. All these have damaged the reputation of the lady. It is already my generosity to ask her to say sorry now."

Su Jinman's words made Wei Qianshu stare at the girl next to her, "Qingyun, why don't you apologize to her?"

Qingyun walked up to Fan Shenglan reluctantly, and said "I'm sorry!"

Fan Shenglan said nervously, "No, no, no." She also felt sorry for hitting him, "I'm sorry, little girl, my aunt didn't mean it either."

Qingyun ignored Fan Shenglan at all, and walked to the master's side with a cold face, as if he had completed a task, without emotion at all.

Su Jinman didn't care what her attitude was, as long as she admitted that it was a misunderstanding, she said to Miss Wei again.

"Miss, please clarify for the shopkeeper whether there are any good items here, business is difficult, please understand."

Wei Qianshu didn't say anything, but asked Xiao Er to wrap up the nobile hairpin that she didn't plan to buy before, and she showed her approval of this store with her actions.

Then she took people away, and when she passed by Su Jinman, she said softly: "You really opened my eyes."

Su Jinman didn't care about such a charming lady. After the farce, the shopkeeper also thanked Su Jinman for saying a word and gave a silver ring as a token of gratitude.

After leaving the gate of the silver building, Zhao Sheng began to curse at Fan Shenglan. If Su Jinman hadn't been there, she might have been thrown into prison.

"Okay, there are so many people, let's not talk about sister-in-law, let's talk about it when we go back."

Su Sanlang looked at Zhao Sheng scolding his wife with some irritability. The scene that happened today was like watching a play. Watching the girl's movements, he only felt that the girl was getting farther and farther away from the two of them. It feels like he can't say why.

Seeing that her son-in-law was a little dissatisfied, the old lady Zhao quickly persuaded her son. The group lost all intention of going shopping. Su Jinman asked Su Sanlang to take them to the carriage and wait for her. She went to buy some rice noodles. There are so many at home. People eat, how can we not buy more?
Su Sanlang knew that his daughter had big ideas, so he didn't say anything. He took Mrs. Zhao and the others to the carriage first, and the cold breath on the road was all white.

Su Jinman went to the stores where she often bought things, and quickly bought what she needed, and bought half a pig, which was directly delivered to the carriage by the butcher.

Fortunately, the service in this era is still very considerate, otherwise she is just a weak woman who doesn't know how to get home after buying so many things!

There is no need to buy vegetables, Aunt Qionghua often brings some seasonal side dishes, and she asks Zhu Qiao to keep the account, and then plans to give her a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

After shopping around, there was really nothing to buy. When passing by the bun shop, I bought more than [-] buns. I thought I would come out early in the morning. It is noon now, and Mrs. Zhao must be hungry.

Seeing that it was her who came back, Zhu Wenfu put down the bench early, and waited for her to get into the carriage before waving the whip to let the horse run.

Su Jinman handed him a warm bun while he was not busy, and Zhu Wenfu took it with a smile and ate it.

When they got in the car, she gave one to each of them, "Two mouthfuls first."

The carriage on the way back was full of things, causing everyone to squeeze together. Because Su Jinman was the last to get on the carriage, she didn't squeeze inside and sat on the outermost side.

The old lady Zhao really didn't have any appetite, so she didn't take it. Fan Shenglan took it, and took one for her man. Su Sanlang didn't really want to eat it, but the eldest brother and his wife of the Zhao family were really heartless. It's quite fragrant.
